The Credentials Committee Work Group will perform the following key duties:

1. Rule on any issues arising with respect to:

certificates of appointment as a delegate or proxy forms submitted by BC Hockey members;

voting cards, which are presented to general meeting delegates and are the sole means by which voting is to occur; and

eligibility of BC Hockey members to be represented at and to have their delegates or proxies participate in and vote at a general meeting.

2. Report to the Chair of the Board, or to any acting Chair of proceedings at the general meeting, as requested as to the number of delegates and number of voting cards issued.

The Credentials Committee Work Group will be supported in its work by BC Hockey staff assigned to the general meeting registration desk. Such staff shall administer the receipt and verification of delegate appointment and proxy appointment voting forms and the distribution of Voting Cards. In all situations that arise at the Registration Desk with respect to voting eligibility, the delegate will be referred to the Credentials Committee Work Group for determination of eligibility.

The Credentials Committee Work Group will also be supported in its work by BC Hockey’s Director, Finance and Administration, who shall provide information from BC Hockey’s financial records with respect to outstanding accounts of BC Hockey members, including registration fees, all of which must be paid prior to voting cards being presented to delegates.

Members shall support their position with respect to any matters to be determined by the Credentials Committee Work Group with written documentation.
